About the Corsair K55 Core TKL RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard
The Corsair K55 Core TKL RGB is a wired tenkeyless gaming keyboard built on quiet rubber dome membrane switches. Dropping the numpad leaves 87 keys and more room for mouse movement, which suits gamers on smaller desks and anyone who wants a softer, quieter keyboard than a mechanical board. Eight-zone RGB lighting can be set up in CORSAIR iCUE, and the 1,000Hz report rate with 12-key rollover keeps inputs responsive. Dedicated media keys, a Win Lock key and brightness control sit within easy reach, and the black chassis is rated to survive a 300ml spill.
